Der Autor über sein Buch
A pictorial homage to 4 centuries of SF and fantasy heroines
Firebrands is an attempt to both salute the many great heroines of science fiction and fantasy and to demonstrate that, contrary to science fiction's sexist reputation, it probably has had more strong female characters than any other literary genre. Nor are powerful, sympathetically-drawn women a product of modern science fiction: a great many examples go back to the roots of science fiction in the 20s and through the Golden Age of the 30s, 40s and 50s. In more than 100 full-color paintings and 25,000 words of text, Firebrands covers the entire history of female protagonists from the 16th century on up to the present day.

This book is an interesting read on the changing roles of women in Sci Fi and fantasy, but the artwork really lets it down. It looks as though Ron Miller was in one hell of a hurry to produce enough pictures for the book and the quality really isn`t up to much. OK so I`m being critical and I freely admit I could`t do better, but that isn`t the point, there are those that can. Save your money get "Transluminal" or "Chiaroscuro" Jim Burns & Tim White show how it should have been done.

I received this book as an anniversary present and as I looked through it I asked my spouse "is this a gift for you or me?" as I pointed to the overwhelming number of naked and semi-naked images of heroines. The biggest question I had with this book was: What is the definition of heroine that both Miller and Sargent are using? Next I wanted to know why the book was so short. I've read several books about women writers, women characters, and feminism even in science fiction and fantasy. While the number of characters and authors they address is usually fewer they are more detailed. I can't say after reading this book that I understand why some of the characters are listed as heroines at all. Instead, the book seems more focused on starting to look at the changes in female characters over decades -- a topic that deserved at least twice this number of pages even if the pictures had to be a much smaller part of the concept.

Ron Miller has always been one of my favorite illustrators and this is one of his best works--with about 100 excellent paintings. This belongs on the shelf of anyone who even pretends to have any interest in feminism or SF art.

Not enough pictures!
The book could have been even bigger! Some of the best pictures were too small and even at a 100+ there didn't seem to be enough of them. Lesen Sie weiter...

A sexy book!
Sexy without being demeaning--that's the unusual balance that Sargent and Miller have managed to accomplish in Firebrands. Lesen Sie weiter...

Best book about women in SF ever published!
This is the best book about women in SF and fantasy I've ever seen! The illustrations are perfect counterfoils to the "typical" depiction of women on a paperback... Lesen Sie weiter...
